Beverage, Milk [1]
by Steven Case
Government & Heritage Library [2], 2007. Updated 2011.
The General Assembly adopted milk as the official State Beverage on June 12, 1987. (Session Laws, 1987, c. 347 [3]).
In making milk the official state beverage, North Carolina followed 17 other states, including both South Carolina and Virginia.
The number of milk cows and milk production [4] in North Carolina declined between 2000 and 2010.
The designation was requested by the state Milk Commission (established in 1947 [5]), and introduced by Senator Aaron W. Pryler, a Democrat from Union County [6]. It became law on June 12, 1987. At that time, North Carolina cows produced 179 million gallons of milk a year.

Photo: Too Wicked ~ 1st place, Overall
Judith Neville (Fleet 2 Organizer), Fabian Hope, Colin Potter, Rick Howard, Michael Clements (skipper)
A Winner's Perspective ~ Too Wicked, Michael Clements
19 M242's from Vancouver, Victoria, Maple Bay, Nanaimo, and Kelowna showed up at the 2013 North Americans in Cowichan Bay, BC on the August long weekend for 3 days of racing. Several crew and Race Committee members came from even further afield, such as the Fleet from Sylvan Lake, Alberta. The weather dawned cold and wet on Friday, and the fleet had 4 rainy races over by Genoa Bay, with the wind quite light and variable: sometimes the left would pay, other times the right, but mostly the breeze was best in the middle of the course at about the 4 knot range for the last few races.
At the end of Day 1, Michael Clements, Fabian Hope, Colin Potter, and Rick Howard on Too Wicked got the yellow jersey for being first overall at that point, with a 1, 2, 3, 10, and they held on to the jersey for the rest of the regatta. All of the other top boats had at least one high point race by the end of the first day, which made for very tight standings counting all 4 races, but Richard Spooner and Team on Daisy were serious contenders after Day 1 with two bullets and a 6.
Day 2 saw marginally better weather in the morning, but it was still overcast, and a light Doctor (breeze) came in at around 10am with 5 knots, so 4 more races were undertaken that day. The left side of the course was heavily favoured upwind and downwind due to current, stronger wind, and a geographic wind shift, and Too Wicked played the left side exclusively. By the end of the day, Too Wicked was comfortably in the lead with another 1, 3, 3, 1, and dropping their 10th from Day 1, but with 2 drop races Daisy was only 3 points back, as they had gotten a 1, 2, 3, 16, on Day 2 and thus would have been only 3 points behind Too Wicked once they could drop both 16's.
Day 3 finally saw the long-promised sunshine in the morning, and the Doctor showed up with a whopping peak breeze of 7 knots, which was good enough to be able to power up and hike the boats totally flat at maximum upwind speed in the flat water. Competition was tough on the start line, and a few top boats got buried on occasion. The other factor that caused the wheels to come off a few boats' campaigns was that they got too close to the Genoa Bay shoreline on the far left side of the course right off the start, where the wind started lifting off the water to rise over the nearby mountain, and thus they found themselves vapour-locked early on in a few races until everyone realized where the danger areas were. Initially the middle-left side of the course paid in the first few races, but a few brave boats banged hard right on occasion and did fine, including Ken Holland on Blackadder who pulled off 2nd Overall in the event as a result of winning the last race, just nipping Too Wicked at the first weather mark, who had gone hard left in the last race. However, Too Wicked had picked up a 1, 1, 3, 10 on the last day, mostly by playing the left side again, and got to drop both 10's, so they ended up with 19 points net, comfortably ahead of Ken who had 49. Tom Sitar and
Team on No Worries had an excellent regatta also, and were 3rd overall, 1 point behind Ken Holland at 50. Three other boats were less than 5 points back, including Daisy at 52, who broke the tie for 4th and 5th with Roger Nelson on Planet B, reflective of the tough competition all 3 days.

Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), although relatively new to the Western world, is a medical system that has been used in China to treat animals for thousands of years. It is an adaptation and extension of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) used to treat humans. Speaking broadly, Chinese Medicine is a complete body of thought and practice grounded in Chinese Daoist philosophy. Though it can be traced back over two millennia in recorded history, it, like any medical system, continues to evolve today, and current research on acupuncture and herbal medicine is beginning to shed light on its mechanism of action.
Chinese Medicine is based on the Daoist worldview that the body is a microcosm of the larger, surrounding universe. As such, the cosmic laws and forces that govern the external world also govern the body's internal environment. Just as life-energy or "Qi" is an innate force of the universe, it too is a fundamental force of the body, driving its every action and transformation. Read more...
The Basic Acupuncture Program certifies students in veterinary acupuncture. Classes are split into small animal, mixed animal, and equine practice.
Advanced Programs include an advanced acupuncture course as well as certification courses in the other TCVM modalities - herbal medicine, food therapy, and tui-na.
Our comprehensive master's degree program in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine includes comprehensive TCVM coursework and a research thesis requirement.
Held alternately from the U.S. and abroad, the annual conference invites TCVM practitioners from around the world to speak about their clinical cases and research.

I have wanted this hat ever since my fellow kindergarten teacher used one for her students' birthday celebrations. My mom had so much fun with it on her 80th birthday that I wasn't sure I was going to get it back. Luckily I did, so I'll be able to embarrass the rest of my family & friends!

By becca's mo
from des moines ia
I purchased these for my daughters birthday, which was celebrated with a cross country race. These hats were part of the team costume and they were a hit! They stayed lit, held up well, and were even warm! Granted, the light color wasn't the best choice, but otherwise they were great! They were a hit!

By BL

These are part of a Birthday Package we offer our patrons at The Hong Kong at Faneuil Hall, Boston, MA. Another company had something similar but of lesser quality. These are a big hit so far. Patrons love the blinking candles. Construction is better and the candles stand up. Keep up the good work and we will buy from you again.

What a hoot!!
By Queen Mum Nan
from grand rapids mi
I love a good laugh and am looking forward to wearing this to dinner on my birthday. I did take a piece of cardboard and cut it in a circle and pushed it up in the crown and it helped hold the candles up straighter.
By Drewvy
from Arlington, VA
Got this hat for an adult female for her birthday. Augmented the design with some glitter glue and rhinestones. I added a piece of a wire coat hanger, inside top rim of hat, to give it more structure to keep the candles more erect.

Am I getting scammed by my trailer manufacturer?
Mon, 12/17/12 4:25 PM
Hey guys,
I'm just about to place the order for a 16x8.5' trailer that will house a full-service mobile kitchen for my catering company. I already have a 12' hood and fan unit - weighing in at oh, I'd guess between 250-300 lbs. I removed it myself from a local brick and mortar restaurant going out of business, it was attached with four wall mount brackets screwed into the 2x4 studs. That was it.
My trailer manufacturer seems to really, really want to sell me 12" on centre wall posts and ceiling roof bows instead of the standard 16" on centre. I have searched this forum extensively looking for build info - it seems that most people are putting their wall and ceiling supports at 16" on centre. Doing this would save me numerous hundreds of bucks.
They are going to build me a special brace for the mushroom for the roof, so not sure why I need extra support there. Plus it's just not that heavy (60 lbs or so).
Any thoughts? Any horrible mishaps with not enough support for the hood or other stuff (cabinets/racks/whatever)?
Thanks in advance!

have you ever seen a trailer ? mainly the roof ? It's not really much too it. You will need a brace, and these guys are professional right ? if they are custom building you a trailer, then they can custom build it 16" Maybe check other trailer manfans before you purchase something if you think you are going to get hosed

Where is the builder? Are they stuffing a kitchen in a cargo trailer or building a trailer from the ground up, or just giving you a shell?
My trailer is built with 2x2 square metal tubing, 16" oc. It's built like a brick **** house.

Hi Wild Dog: Yes, they are professional and they are installing a brace for the roof. My question is whether I need to upgrade the standard 16" on centre roof and wall supports to 12". I have been shopping for months and spoken to what feels like every trailer dealer on the planet :) but most of them seem to be having the trailers made at one particular manufacturer, Continental Cargo in Oregon (even the Canadian guys! I'm in BC Canada).
Chefbuba: The builder is Continental Cargo in Oregon - I'm dealing with one of their distributors, trailer showroom dot com. I am getting them to build the trailer shell... then put some stuff in it, like the concession window, doors, an electrical package, wall and ceiling coverings etc. My mom's husband is a commercial technician who installs commercial kitchens for a living so he's going to do the install, but of course he generally comes in after the structure is built. I'm pretty sure the wall and ceiling supports are also 2x2 square metal tubing.... and at 16" on centre as well it's good to hear that it will be built like a brick **** house :)

Ask them for specifics as to why they think you need this centering. What is the load capacity at 16 inch, then what is the load capacity at 12 inch. Do you need this added capacity. Selling someone an open trailer that they are going to stuff can mean they want to be on the safe side, as they're not sure what your going to do. By using the load capacities you are working from known numbers, not statements like a brick ***house. The only other advantage to smaller centers, especially if you are cutting openings yourself, is it gives you more flexibility as to their size if you cut openings within the open areas of the supports.

"I'm pretty sure the wall and ceiling supports are also 2x2 square metal tubing",I wouldn't hold my breath!Ask them what the frame is made from.ask what the roof is made from those top hat roof bows aren't that strong.also have them put that green ext.ply on the floor.I have a trailer that after 4 years is rotting by the back door because the wet roads and mud get up under the trailer and on to the plywood underside and has caused rot.You can also contact the manufactuer about what you want to do and ask them if it will be strong enough for your plans.If they don't know the dealer won't.you can also just have the 12"O.C in the area of your hood if needed.

Are you sure a B&M hood will even work for you with a trailer height roof? Most B&M ceilings are higher than a trailer.

CE marking
What do your cell phone, your TV and your kid's teddy bear have in common? If you have purchased these items within the European Economic Area ("EEA", consisting of the 28 EU Member States, and the EFTA countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), you will find two letters on all of these products: CE. Product manufacturers are familiar with this marking, as in many cases they have to affix it to their products. As a consumer, you may know this marking, as you see it on many products you purchase every day.
The CE marking is required for many products. It states that the product is assessed before being placed on the market and meets EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements. Through this website the European Commission provides economic operators and consumers with information on how the process of affixing the CE marking on a product works.
As a manufacturer, this website will lead you through the process of affixing the CE marking to your specific product, by clearly illustrating the key steps to undertake from the beginning to the trading of the product. If you are a distributor or importer you will have to know the requirements that the products you are importing or distributing must meet to be traded freely within the EEA (see leaflet for economic operators [353 KB] ).
Find out how to "make Europe's market yours" with CE marking.

text: My sister had a house that was heated with electric radiant panels in the ceiling. they loved it, and the cost wasn't horrible. The panels were white, but may not suit your style. Note, these made the person feel warm, and while they did heat the air and structure some, not as much, so placement is critical. WIth a room over an unheated garage, the floor could end up being really cold. I think to make this comfortable, may take some additional thought. radiant floor heating, depending on planned covering might be an option. you didn't mention where this is located, the weather extremes, or the type of windows. Single pane, and your heat load will be huge. You need to do an analysis on what amount of heat is needed, then decide the most efficient way to install it. Is there going to be water available, would a small boiler be an alternative? Could you get gas there?

Ephemeral to Enduring: The Internet Archive and Its Role in Preserving Digital Media
The Internet was first created as a communications network, but it has produced myriad effects in many sectors of technology, business, and society. Among these important changes are the growth of electronic publishing and the increasing use of the Internet as a medium for disseminating diverse documents, literature, art, journalism, commentary, and miscellaneous expressions of information and thought. Digital media, and the rise of Internet distribution of it, has caused profound changes in librarianship as well .

DIRECT: A Decentralized Image Retrieval System for the National STEM Digital Library
This paper describes the Decentralized Image Retrieval for Education (DIRECT) service for the National Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Digital Library (NSDL). DIRECT augments NSDL by providing content-based image-retrieval (CBIR) functionality. CBIR allows the user to designate a query image so that the service can search the library for images of similar content. DIRECT matches images not by text metadata but by the color or texture of the image objects; the matching process does not depend on a match between the cataloger description and the user description. DIRECT is a peer-to-peer service built for decentralized digital libraries. The content-based image-retrieval service is available to all collections in NSDL without imposing new standards or protocols. With DIRECT, NSDL can support images that have yet to be cataloged or have incomplete metadata without adding overhead (expenditure of additional resources) to the collections.

Designing for Experts: How Scholars Approach an Academic Library Web Site
This study examines the use of an academic library Web site by experienced researchers and active scholars. It is part of a larger effort to understand how experienced users approach online information resources and how fully the library's Web site meets their needs. Subjects were asked to complete eight online tasks, beginning each task at the library's home page. Data were gathered by means of screen- and audio-capture software, and human observers as study participants worked through sets of tasks. Results were analyzed in terms of the experience and expertise of the participants, success rate, and the first click indicating the chosen path to the information requested. Subjects had high success rates for most tasks. Searching for information about journals and locating journal articles proved to be the most difficult tasks to successfully complete. Analysis of session recordings revealed some traits of expert users that can be used to improve Web site design, and indicated a correlation between success in searching and the double-expertise of subject knowledge combined with frequent use of the library's Web site.

Content Management Strategy for a College Library Web Site
Watzek Library at Lewis and Clark College uses a dual strategy to manage the content of its Web site. Informational pages are created with a template system based on the following tools: Macromedia Dreamweaver and Contribute, PHP, server-side includes, and cascading style sheets (CSS). This system allows the site to be updated easily by several staff members and permits all pages to be presented with a graphical banner and sidebar or in a text-only fashion. Pages are presented that organize electronic and other research resources using the aforementioned system; a relational database is used to drive the content. This database is populated using locally developed PHP software that allows the building of pathfinders of resources organized by subject and category. Overall, this system provides for collaborative content upkeep, flexible presentation options, structured data, and reuse of data.

Thermal-Transfer Printing: A Better Way to Print Library Labels
Thermal-transfer printing, a technology borrowed from the manufacturing sector, offers libraries a flexible method for printing durable, accurate, legible, and attractive labels that reliably adhere to most book surfaces. When guided by an electronic program customized to meet a library's particular needs, a thermal-transfer printing system offers virtually limitless variations in font, format, and functionality. It can print labels directly from the online catalog, thereby guaranteeing that call numbers on labels match what patrons see in the catalog. This article explains thermal-transfer printing and how it compares with other printing technologies, briefly explores applications in both the manufacturing and library environments, and describes in detail how Utah State University Libraries and a few other libraries use it to improve the accuracy, appearance, and durability of their spine labels.

Marine Science faculty and researchers currently work in many fields critical
to the understanding and sustainable use of marine resources and systems
including aquaculture, benthic ecology, marine and estuarine ecology, coral reef
ecology, environmental chemistry, phycology, environmental microbiology,
toxicology, marine mammal physiology, invertebrate zoology and ichthyology.
The program is designed to be completed in two years for full-time graduate
students. All students must take a core 4-course sequence, appropriate elective
courses, and complete (1) a successful thesis research project for the MS degree
or (2) two laboratory courses selected in conjunction with their graduate
advisor for the MA degree. State-of-the-art research and laboratory facilities
at the Marine Science Research Institute will be utilized, with opportunities to
conduct research at other facilities also possible.
Students eligible to take 500-level courses or any courses for graduate
credit are:
A baccalaureate degree is required. GRE scores, letters of recommendation,
and undergraduate transcripts will be utilized for admissions purposes. It is
expected that the majority of entering students will have a degree in the
natural sciences. Regardless, strong preparation in the basic sciences
(chemistry, physics, and biology) and mathematics is required. Students with
academic deficiencies may be admitted so long as they enroll in appropriate
undergraduate courses (determined by the Faculty) as needed.
Non-degree seeking students with the proper preparation may enroll in courses
for the purpose of professional development. See the Admission section of this
catalog for more information.
A completed graduate admission application
form. In addition to all program admission
requirements listed above, all international student applicants must also meet
the JU Admissions requirements as outlined under International Students in the
Admissions section of the catalog.
TUITIONFall, spring and summer semesters - $467 (per
semester hour)
Program is designed to be completed in approximately two-years of full-time
study, but may be completed in a part-time manner if done within 7 years of
starting first graduate course. Only six (6) semester hours of marine
science-related graduate work can be transferred from another regionally
accredited institution and applied to the MS/MA in Master of Science in Marine
Science at JU.
All graduate students shall successfully complete 30 semester hours with a
grade of "B" (3.0) or better in each course. Depending on the specific degree
desired, students will complete either a comprehensive exam with required
laboratory course work (MA degree) or a written thesis project with an oral
defense as well as required coursework (MS degree).
All students admitted to the MA/MS degree program shall maintain continuous
enrollment in the graduate program until all degree requirements are met. If a
student receives lower than a "B" in a core course, the student may retake one
course. Two courses with grades below "B" (3.0) can result in the student being
removed from the graduate program. Students are encouraged to complete their
degree requirements within three years.

Known in its earlier years as the GMC Suburban, the GMC Yukon XL is actually one of the longest-running models sold in the United States. This popular SUV debuted back in 1936. After serving faithfully for many evolutionary years as a truck-based station wagon primarily meant for commercial or rural use, the renamed gentle giant has increasingly become the go-to choice for families or anyone needing class-leading passenger and cargo capacity as well as solid truck-based towing capability.
With stout underpinnings, strong powertrains, a comfortable ride and spacious seating for up to nine plus their cargo, the current truck is a very capable large SUV. A short list of competitive sport-utilities may offer more refinement and ultra-lux conveniences for more bucks, but the Yukon XL (as well as its Chevy Suburban equivalent) remains the only full-size SUV available in both light- (1500) and heavy-duty (2500) versions. It certainly comes recommended, and older models are also good choices for consumers desiring a used SUV.
Current GMC Yukon XL
The Yukon XL comes in two versions -- standard 1500 and heavy-duty 2500 -- and three trim levels: well-equipped SLE, leather-lined SLT and top-dog Denali (1500 only). The 1500 versions come standard with a 5.3-liter V8 (320 horsepower and 335 pound-feet of torque). The 2500s come with a 6.0-liter V8 rated at 352 hp and 382 lb-ft of torque, while the Denali trim features a 6.2-liter V8 with 403 hp and 417 lb-ft of torque. All are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. GMC offers either two- or four-wheel-drive versions of each Yukon XL except for the Denali, which is equipped with an all-wheel-drive system that doesn't have low-range gearing. Towing capacities can approach 10,000 pounds.
For such a big SUV, the GMC Yukon XL is relatively quick when unloaded and can reach 60 mph in less than 9 seconds. However, the base V8 doesn't always feel so quick when carrying a heavy load of passengers or cargo. On the move, the Yukon XL is composed and offers up a smooth ride. When pointed straight down an interstate or out in the wide-open spaces, there aren't many better, more capable cruisers than the GMC Yukon XL. Overall, it's a compelling and top-rated choice for shoppers with lots of people- or gear-hauling needs.
Used GMC Yukon XL Models
The present-generation GMC Yukon XL debuted for the 2007 model year. Compared to the previous Yukon XL, this version rides on an updated chassis that provides all of its prior strength along with a more comfortable ride and improved handling, performance and efficiency. These Yukon XLs also boast safety advancements like front seat side airbags, stability control and side curtain airbags for all three rows.
Apart from a six-speed automatic replacing the four-speed unit for 2008 on the 2500 and for '09 for the 1500, and some minor equipment changes the next few years, these Yukon XLs are identical to the latest offering.
The previous-generation Yukon XL that debuted for the 2000 model year and lasted through 2006 was packaged more efficiently than before and heralded the debut of this model name, as this vehicle was previously called a Suburban. Although increasingly outclassed by newer competitors in its later years, this Yukon XL's warehouse-sized interior made it an easy pick for families and home remodelers who truly needed massive passenger and cargo space. Interior materials and fit and finish were merely adequate, however, and the exterior design was beginning to look a tad dated by the end of its run.
This generation was slightly shorter than its predecessor and several trim levels and a couple of modest V8s were available initially, but by 2001 the two "small-block" engines were up to 285 and 320 hp, while an available new 8.1-liter V8 with 340 hp and 455 lb-ft of stump-pulling torque offered even more grunt. The Yukon XL inched further up the comfort scale as the years went by, but the big news for '03 was the availability of an innovative Quadrasteer four-wheel-steering system on 3/4-ton (2500) models -- reducing the turning circle by a substantial 8 feet and also improving towing stability. The cabin also received numerous improvements including tri-zone climate controls and available DVD entertainment, second-row captain's chairs and power-adjustable pedals. Updates including OnStar, steering-wheel audio controls and tire-pressure monitoring carried the big GMC through 2006.
Previous to this was the Suburban from 1992-'99. After a long, enduring model run by the previous generation that extended from 1973-'91, the then-new '92 GMC Yukon XL finally adopted the sleek body design and freshened interiors of its previously updated pickup truck siblings. In addition to handsome new looks, this completely redesigned Suburban boasted more glass area and a lower step-in height than its antiquated predecessor.
After a few years of detail improvements, redesigned seats and a new modular dashboard graced the Suburban's interior in '95, and a year later daytime running lamps marked the adoption of several powerful new Vortec gasoline engines ranging up to 290 hp. For off-roaders, four-wheel-drive models adopted a modern independent front suspension and a more convenient Insta-Trac electronic shift-on-the-fly transfer case. In '98, four-wheel-drive operation was enhanced again with an optional AutoTrac automatic full-time 4WD system for set-it-and-forget-it convenience.

Insteon has another bright idea on its hands. The company just announced the Insteon LED Bulb 8 Watt (60W), the world's first networked remote control dimmable LED light bulb.
The name isn't so awesome, but the product is another story. Instead of your ordinary lightbulb, the Insteon LED Bulb has the company's patented dual-band communication technology. That makes it act as a network signal repeater, sending signals over both radio frequencies (RF) and a home's existing wires (powerline).
Besides dimming, the bulb also offers scene options, so users can have custom lighting at the touch of a button.
"For years, home automation has controlled light fixtures with plug-in lamp modules, wire-in switches and keypads," said Joe Dada, Insteon's CEO. "But, until now, no one has controlled the bulb itself. It's exciting to be the first to introduce a new product to the world."
The bulb boasts an easy setup, which includes linking it any Insteon controller, such as a handheld remote. Insteon also has a free app, which works with the company's SmartLinc Hub and iOS/Android smartphones and tablets.
The Insteon family includes wall switches, plug-in modules, keypads, thermostats and motion sensors. If you want to add the Insteon LED Bulb into the mix, it can be had now for $29.99.

Looking for a holiday card that will really make an impression this year? Online photo card providers have come a long way from the standard "picture and a greeting" layouts they started with, and they really seem to be pushing the envelope this year. We've reviewed all of the major photo card providers and collected a few of our favorite super-creative designs this year, so take a look at the best of the best:
Instagram-Ready Cards
If you take most of your pictures with a mobile application like Hipstamatic or Instagram, there are cards out there designed with shots just like yours in mind. Most of these mobile-friendly layouts call for multiple, smaller photos, and often they're particularly accommodating to square formats like Instagram's. Pear Tree Greetings has made it the easiest of any site we've seen to pick out Instagram-ready designs, but you can probably find an appropriate layout at most of our favorite sites. We particularly like TinyPrints for their huge selection and found a few mobile-friendly options there easily.
Infographic Cards
Infographic cards are often called newsletter, "year in a nutshell," or "year in review" cards, and there are a wide range of approaches available this year. Several sites offer design options for this cool card style, but our favorites have come from high-end provider Minted and ultra-flexible provider Mixbook. We love their use of creative typography and graphs to take the place of the traditional holiday letter. Add in space for a great picture, and you have the complete package.
If you don't think Minted and Mixbook's cards are right for you, you can find some similar designs from Tiny Prints. Just check "Newsletter" under "Themes" in the sidebar to filter down their selection to some similar options.
Booklet Cards
Can't fit everything you want to say or show on just one page? You might want to check out booklet holiday cards. With more than one page, you can tell the story of your year or dedicate a page to each family member if you like. Plus, your friends and family will definitely remember your standout card layout.
Minted's Minibooks are a great example of this style, and Pear Tree Greetings offers a few options, as does Purple Trail, though we found their card editor more difficult to use than most. You can also find tri-fold cards pretty much everywhere, if you're not quite ready to go for the full booklet. These longer cards give you more space for photos, text, or anything else you'd like to share with your friends and family.

Arkeia Network Backup is designed for organizations that require fast, easy-to-use, and affordable data protection. It backs up critical data to disk, tape, and cloud storage. Arkeia protects all major virtual platforms including VMware, Hyper-V, XenServer, and more than 200 physical platforms including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Netware, most UNIX flavors, and BSDs. The company's source-side Progressive Deduplication technology helps users realize better performance at a lower cost by reducing data volumes. Arkeia's deduplication is crucial to accelerating replication of on-premise backups to private or public clouds.
BitchX is the premiere IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client. It originally was a modified version of the popular ircII client, and the features were eventually merged into the EPIC IRC client. The current development is aimed at merging the client back to a current branch of EPIC and bringing compatibility and stability back to the client, while bringing the features that are BitchX into a new client.
C-Kermit is a combined serial and network communication software package offering a consistent, medium-independent, cross-platform approach to connection establishment, terminal sessions, file transfer, character-set translation, numeric and alphanumeric paging, and automation of communication tasks. Recent versions include FTP and HTTP clients as well as an SSH interface, all of which can be scripted and aware of character-sets. It supports built-in security methods, including Kerberos IV, Kerberos V, SSL/TLS, and SRP, FTP protocol features such as MLSD, and source-code parity with Kermit 95 2.1 for Windows and OS/2.
DansGuardian is a Web content filtering proxy that uses Squid to do all the fetching. It filters using multiple methods including, but not limited to, phrase matching, file extension matching, MIME type matching, PICS filtering, and URL/domain blocking. It has the ability to switch off filtering by certain criteria including username, domain name, source IP, etc. The configurable logging produces a log in an easy to read format.
